I am glad that people are standing up and having thier voices heard. Wealth and money has corrupted and munipulated a once great system. I have watched over these last years as friends and family lost jobs, and homes, I myself am now jobless. I have watched the news and listened to the political system of our great nation fail the people it is to protect and shelter. I feel that change needs to come and should come swiftly. How many are without jobs, homes and stability ????? Why are law makers in 50,000 dollar cars and private jets, why can they sit in congress up high, while the american people the 99% simply struggle to pay bills. Our elected leaders have failed us.
That would be great!
Bonus Army March:

The entire Occupy movement should come down to DC and camp in Anacostia Park, site of the original Bonus March Encampment in 1932. Do what the Bonus Marchers did. Set up a clean, formal encampment. I'm sure there are enough sponsors who will pay for potties and showers.
Then, every day, all those at the encampment should get up at 6:30 a.m. and march down Maryland Avenue to the Capitol and spend the day visiting their Senators and Representatives. Every day until they get something done, like a nationwide Section 8 subsidy program so that everyone pays 1/3 of their monthly income for housing.
Let's get organized, Fellow Workers!
